  Prescribing Transcendental Meditation - Stroke and Ischemic Attacks - The Effects   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
The paralysis is usually on the side of the body opposite the side of the brain damaged by stroke, and may affect the face, an arm, a leg, or the entire side of the body.
In some stroke patients, pathways for sensation in the brain are damaged, causing the transmission of false signals that result in the sensation of pain in a limb or side of the body that has the sensory deficit.
Two fairly common deficits resulting from stroke are anosognosia, an inability to acknowledge the reality of the physical impairments resulting from stroke, and neglect, the loss of the ability to respond to objects or sensory stimuli located on one side of the body, usually the stroke-impaired side.

 Stroke - Frequently Asked Questions
When a stroke occurs in the right side of the brain, the left side of the body is more significantly affected and symptoms may include weakness or paralysis in the arm or leg.
Right-side strokes are also likely to produce impairments in spatial and perceptual abilities and may cause deficits in short-term memory as well as poor judgment and impulsive behaviors.

 Record - October 4, 2002
The study, which appears in the Sept. 26 issue of Neuron, found that the right side of the brain is more active than normal during a verbal language task, and that the right side's activity decreases with practice, similar to what happens on the left side of the brain in healthy individuals.
Since the left side of the brain houses most of the areas responsible for speech and language, a left-sided stroke often causes language problems, a condition known as aphasia.
The patients all had experienced a stroke at least six months before participating in the study and still had damage near a brain region called Broca's area, which is located toward the front of the brain and thought to be involved in speech.

 Stroke
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to a part of your brain is interrupted or severely reduced and brain tissue is deprived of oxygen and nutrients.
This type of stroke occurs when a blood clot or other particle forms in a blood vessel away from the brain, but is swept through your bloodstream to lodge in narrower brain arteries.
In this type of stroke, bleeding starts in a large artery on or near the membrane surrounding the brain and spills into the space between the surface of your brain and your skull.

 HealthScout - Right-Brain Strokes Often Missed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
That is because the symptoms of a left-side stroke are easier to detect, since that side controls speech, two new studies from neurologists in Germany and Canada note.
The investigators report that those with left-side strokes were more likely to be admitted to the hospital within three hours after suffering the stroke, and were also more likely to get clot-dissolving drugs quickly.
Right-side stroke patients were 45 percent less likely to be given a clot-dissolving drug, and they spent an average of 15 days in the hospital, compared to the average nine-day stays of left-side stroke patients.

It is a much faster stroke off the bounce; it is extremely solid, consistent, and strong once you get your body in position, and the topspins are much stronger than the thumb side forehand-topspin.

Fourth, with this stroke the same blade orientation is used as with an underspin return; the power, blade-speed, and control available with the V grip makes possible a variety of spin modifications.
